Hello all

I have just returned home from a holliday in Cairns north Queensland & while I was there I did a nursery crawl & checked out what was available.

I picked up a few things but the palm I bought that I have little info on is the Dypsis avisonii & I was wondering if anyone else is growing this species?. I will post pics soon.

I look foward to your replies.

Cheers

Matt.

Name is NOT on Kew's list of accepted name. However, there is the (no longer valid) name of Dypsis anovensis, which is a synonym for Dypsis linearis, a smaller Dypsis, similar to Dypsis nodifera.

Thanks for the replies

Its as I expected Dypsis avisonii is not a valid name & Michael has filled me in on the reason why I could not find any info  :angry:. Naughty Jan indeed she should have just called them Dypsis sp.

I was told it was a small clumping species & the seeds were indeed collected from Maria Bloggs garden. I'll endevour to get some pics posted tomorrow. Michael do you have any idea of its true identity?.

Thanks

Thats where I'm leaning, but its a dead ringer for what Jeff Searle was selling a while back as D. Malcolmberii  (since decided its not).  Grows fast though. :D

I will say it has thrown out 3 different leaf styles and depending which one you were looking at, its characteristics could be confusing!

post-354-12770770410777_thumb.jpg

No... not D. madagascariensis... I have those and this one is different. It is a very pretty palm, and thank you Michael to convince me at the Mother's Day sale that I needed one of these!! I wish she had 2!! Well, time to visit her next time I am in Cairns & surrounding area. And it is growing SO FAST!!!!

I planted a Dysis avisonii late last year and it's doing really well. Survived a few near freezing and one below freezing night without a blemish. It's a very fast grower and looks pretty too. They told me it was a single form palm so if it turns out to be a clumping variety I will be most unimpressed. Now that I know this is a possibility I will hold off ordering another one until I find out for myself whether it stays single and gets a friend or clumps and ends up as compost.

Nice photos Michael

I will have to take an updated photo of my plant, did have two but a hare got one of them.

This sp I'm fairly convinced is a form of Dypsis madagascariensis & is a really good grower for me here & it is starting to clump.

Don't say horrible things like that Matt. You might frighten me. I am praying this little pretty thing stays a single.

The small suckers seem to be easy to break off

I was weeding around the base of the smaller one and felt what I thought was a weed coming out at the base .at the same moment I noticed the sucker on the larger and thought :blink:

damn .. Think I wrecked it , seemed very soft .

PEACHY , Get yourself a little knife [ like 'Crocodile Dundee' } for permanent sucker removal . :huh:

Heya Wal

The plant gets full sun, its just overcast & drizzly this morning & the next door neighbour has some dirty great big radiata pine trees planted right on my boundary which shades my yard on winter mornings :rage: but he is not adverse to having them removed so I will have to work on that for next winter.
